Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Can Deli handle sound?
I have been trying everything I can think of.
It didnt come with a sound module, but I was able to install everything and at one point it showed in lsmod.
Now it doesnt.
I've got all the alsa stuff, xmms, and all the correct libraries as far as I can tell.

Before I had them all in, my cdrom would mount fine and autoload .cda files to the /mnt/cdrom directory, and xmms would play them, but no sound to the sound card.

After I went through all the installs, my cdrom is gone.
The directory is still there, but its not in fstab anymore. I added it, but still no dice.

Any ideas what I could do?
Do I need to use another command to fire up my sound?
Am I wasting my time this way?
Must it be recompiled to work?
